This was at the communication building on the University of Texas campus. It says KLRU studios which is correct. However, you also may know it as the Austin City Limits Stage. (Yes, the venue where they show the TV show.) I noticed that this was a recording of a stream from KEXP (seattle.)
Nice job. Might as well call it a soundboard.

I had never heard of this band before, but picked it up from a 'recent review' highlight on the front page of the Live Music Archive. Very cool sound. Violin, Ukealeli, guitar, drums, horns (trumpet?), just a really cool eclectic sound. A little 'andrew-bird-esque' but really a cool sound. A little like gypsy / middle eastern folk music. Cool sound, i'm definitely going to listen more to them. Plus the recording quality is really high.

Subject: A great concert
Subject: A great concert
This is the archive concert that first exposed me to Beirut. The recording quality is crystal-clear; the performances are enthusiastic; the vocals are strong; the between-song banter is charming; the musicianship is excellent. Of course it's not as polished as Beirut's studio tracks are--and it shouldn't be. It captures an up-and-coming band at its happy/sad, minor-key best. Enjoy!
